Gambling is a form of entertainment. Sometimes adults can get addicted to gambling and lose the ability to stop, and when this happens it is extremely important to seek gambling specific help.

Gamblers Anonymous uses the following twenty questions to help determine gambling problems. Most compulsive gamblers will answer yes to at least 7 of the questions.
